London's Royal Drawing School will present Frank Bowling: Driven to Draw, an exhibition exploring the veteran artist's longstanding engagement with drawing and painting on paper. The show opens June 25 and runs through August 22.
Coinciding with the exhibition of Bowling's sketches, collages, and paintings, the artist is launching a foundation to which the 92-year-old Royal Academician has donated an extensive archive.
The foundation's trustees include his son Ben Bowling, a professor of criminology, and his half-brother Sacha Bowling, a filmmaker and photographer. Artist Thomas J. Price also serves on the board.
